Media is controlled by the people in power who dont want this to give other country's citizens ideas.

lol, these are not French people protesting.. these are people the French made the mistake of letting into their country en masse. 

And this is what happens.

Immigration needs controls or else you get foreigners changing your very culture.

This is not true at all. French culture is very proactive with protest, famously since the french revolution.

Yes, this is true but my point is that the majority of people involved are not ‘French’ people. I doubt they could pass a citizenship test given in the French language.

majority

This is an absolutely insane exaggeration. There were almost a million protestors yesterday. Saying >50% weren't French is idiotic.
